The Frog

Anonymous
Bullfrog

What a wonderful bird the frog are—
 When he sit, he stand almost;
 When he hop, he fly almost.
 He ain’t got no sense hardly;
 He ain’t got no tail hardly either.
 When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t
			   got—almost

(From the Rattle Bag, an anthology of poetry
edited by Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes)
